Thanks for the VIDEO ANDY ~ Lovely haunting melody ~ sung & played at 60\'s Ballad Pace Beautiful. Loved the POEM too ! having been born in 1983 ~ I missed the introduction of so so many titillating (an apt word) ~ Mini-skirts ~ Hot-pants ~ Topless Beaches and Bars ~ Cropped-tops ~ Flower-power ~ Free-love etc etc. However in the 21st Century all these things still exist and resurrect in one guise or another every Spring & Summer ! The only advantage I have is that I may live to see Man walk on Mars and even the outcome of BREXIT. Yours BRIAN

Andy,

Thank you for the blissful gondola ride accompanied by...
“The gentle sound of Morricone.”

So satisfying getting “lost in music and words.”
Thank you for sharing!
Love to Joyce and you!

It is a nice place to relax and read in the lounge chair outside. Perhaps an early morning visit wouldn\'t be so hot! Enjoyed.

I always have a little envy of people who can write so eloquently of those beautiful moments in life.

My attempts never seem to quite capture the moment or drift off lamenting the transience of it!

I do have these joyful moments. They just evade my linguistic creation!

Thanks for sharing a mindful moment.

A fine write and fine way to pass the time. I tried reading in the garden, in the shade, but lasted all of 10 minutes! We best make the most of it while it\'s here though. We may say later on: \'The sun, not seen it a while now; is it that big yellow thing in the sky?\'

Love is shown and felt. By kind deeds and grasping hands. Love you Goldie!

What is Love?
dusk arising said:

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail.

excerpt from NKJV .. I always thought this was a good description of some of loves facets.

Your words are true, it is not of this world... but would we be richer if love encompassed this world?

THANKS ANDY ~ Thanks for including the SATIE in Classical Guitar, my favourite instrument ! I have seen & heard JOHN WILLIAMS ~ awesome ! Having been raised in Liverpool (Walker Art Gallery) I do have an appreciation of many Genres of Art. Your poem is a \"Work of Art\" ! Verse 1. Everything we see (if we move slowly) imprints on our sub-conscious ~ and when we see the same scene (on TV or in a Painting or Photo) our sun-conscious connects. That\'s how we recognise people even after tens of years ! Verse 2. Trees in Windows ~there is always more to stately Homes than initially meets the eye ~ how ingenious ! I love SH\'s one of the UK\'s infinite blessings ~ who need the rest of EUROPE ! The Towers of Eiffel & Pisa and the Gate of Brandenburg and the Parthenon would all look ugly and out of place in the UK ! Verse 3. You liked it then ??? Thanks for sharing ANDY we all enjoyed this one ~ AMEN. The symbiosis of ART & Architecture is always a Pleasure especially Gardens by Capability (might call my Son that !) Brown. Yours as always BRIAN.

Great to know that us old codgers can still be gobsmakked by the beauty of natural things around us here in our own backyard of Worcestershire. Croome is on my bucket list.
Gynopodie No 1, probably Eric\'s most popular, i have recordings of by several artists on various instruments ans ensembles but it\'s at it\'s best as a solo piece as here. Gynopodies 2 and 3 are superb too being variations of 1. I seem to recollect these were written for children to learn and perform. Certainly the harmonic progressions across the three were a lesson to me and encouraged me into improv in jazz.
Excellent writing today. Love the repeat theme.
